Kevin Bateson is a British composer who composed music and sound for Dark Technologies.

Music Development

GB/NES

Kevin Bateson used a sound driver created by David Whittaker, in which the music was written in assembly language. However, Whittaker never gave his sound engine to Dark Technologies, so the company ended up reverse-engineering his sound engine, but it is unknown which game they reverse-engineered to get his sound engine.

SNES

The beta of Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday (SNES), originaly used David Whittaker's EndSoundCode driver. But when the game, along with other Sunsoft properties were sold to Acclaim, Whittaker was not happy using it, and instead hired Chip Level Designs and Bitmasters to carry the SLICK/Audio driver.

GEN

Kevin sent MIDI files, and converted to the GEMS driver. Unfortunately, no games composed by Kevin for the Genesis exist, since they were unreleased.
